Echoes from the Past

Wow! You’re Ms. Dowell?!!!!
Lin Holmes told me you’d be nice, but she didn’t tell me you’d be cute as a
button too, and that you’d blush brighter than a Sweetheart Rose!

I want to thank you for your generosity
in opening your home and allowing me to visit a

nd tell you a bit about me and
my part in LJ. Holmes (Lin’s…she writes using her initials…isn’t that adorable?)
story ECHOES FROM THE PAST releasing from Muse It Up Publishing early in May
2013.

I’m sorta new at this. I
suppose that sounds strange coming from a man as old as I am. Now I can see a
huge question forming in those gorgeous eyes of yours. You wanna know just how
old I am? You know I really don’t know! Kira, Dr. Kira Firebird, my cohort in
the many misadventures throughout this book, once asked me the same question.
Time is a weird concept when you’re dead. Have you noticed that? But then you
wouldn’t have, since you’re not dead, would ya?

I did see your jaw drop dear
Lady, which I can understand. It’s got to be difficult for you to sit there looking
at me, seeing me as I appear to you, seeming quite…uhm…fleshy…but knowing I’m
really…technically…dead...and that really IS…technically what I am, and have
been for a very long time. I’m trying to think back to the last time death
claimed me.

Do you happen to know when
the people your Hopi Indians called the Anasazi Indians lived in the four
corner sections of the American States? Course they weren’t really the American
States yet, but that will give us a time frame to pinpoint my last death with.

Ooops..I see I’ve confused you,
Dear Lady. I do that a lot. It drives poor Kira quite up the wall. Do forgive
me. Let me think for a second here. Kira did tell me when we were in Lemuria
about when that was. We were about to about to climb into the bubble. I

sorta had
other things on my mind when we climbed into the bubble, I’m not sure I’ll
remember…What can I say, I wasn’t dead then and thinking very much like a man,
if you know what I mean? Oh yeah! Now I remember. I died somewhere around 1250
C.E. your time, and according to Kira, your guy Columbus? Right? Yeah, didn’t
show up for another two almost two and a half more centuries later?

Anyway, I died before my
people disappeared and long before your people appeared, which means I guess,
I’ve been flesh and blood challenged for a really long time.

I can still see a ton of
doubt in your gorgeous but skeptical eyes Ms. Dowell. Guess

you don’t meet too
many ghosts in your day-to-day life do you, Hon? But Darling girl, compared to me,
you’re a babe in arms. I mean Sweetie, my time with the Anasazi was just my
latest incarnation. I really DID live back in Lemurai, and that’s actually the
lifetime that’s the most important for this story. See Kira and her spirit
guardian, a rather inept, but comical wolf Boomerang, must come to Lemuria and
spend time there with me.

They must travel back through
the warping mists of time to learn the secrets of a powerful device known only
as THE SACRED COVENANT before Lemuria is violently cast into the crushing
destruction of the ocean waves. If she doesn’t learn from the wise ones in my
time how to locate and unleash the Covenant your future is doomed.

Unfortunately, someone else in
your time is looking for it too…someone with less than honorable reasons for
wanting it, who has no idea what it’s capable of and time is running out.

Ahhh you’re wondering if I’ll
die in the past and will I come forward and have a future with Kira?

I died in Lemuria, but I also
died in the Four Corners. Look at me. I’m
dead, so I do not live a flash and blood life in your era. I can only appear
here in spirit. I can only touch Kira, and yes you as a spirit, that carries no
weight. To have a flesh life I would

have to be born again into the body of an
infant—go through all the stages of maturing.

By the time I would reach an
age appropriate for adult love and passion, Kira would be too old for me to
mate with. So Kira and I both know we were not brought together this time
around despite being soul split-aparts to share the passion that is ours throughout
eternity. Our mission is higher.

Do we wish it were different?
My soul lives inside hers and hers’ lives inside me. I ache for her every
moment we’re apart, but we cannot change the realities of time and distance.
Still—miracles sometimes happen—who knows what miracles the Great Universe has
in store for us and can put into final motion? Pray for us. Nothing is done
until it’s done.

Ms. Ro, Lin Holmes told me
you’d be a gracious and beautiful hostess and she was so right. I want to thank
you for sharing this time with me and allowing me to tell you about my world
and my story. ECHOES FROM THE PAST, was written by L.J. Holmes with its
phenomenal cover by Ms. Suzannah Safi releasing early in May from Muse It Up
Publishing, Inc. and both women captured our story well.

Ms Holmes has asked me to
offer to one of you readers who leaves a comment a free PDF copy of our book
just as soon as it becomes available, chosen by you Ms. Dowell, and she also
wants me to assure you a copy will also be made available for you as well for
your generosity in hosting me, her very long in the tooth hero, It’s truly been
an honor spending time with you.
